The Presbytery

The Presbytery is 112 years old and as such is in dire need of repair. Nicholas Eades is concentrating on the exterior walls including the front of the house , and Mr.Peter Walton is working on the back door and back part of the house , which is deteriorating rapidly.

Their latest serveillance shows a leaking roof ,a fragile back door , which will probably be replaced before the weekend.

Although it is true that we own the property ourselves , it is St.Michael's Presbytery , and with that in mind , any contributions , financial or otherwise would be very much appreciated
